The Internet is the fastest growing phenomenon in the history of mankind. In less than a decade, it has gone from a concept to an obsession. For jazz, Net activity is burgeoning, dramatically.
The Net’s development shares the democratic and egalitarian nature of the telephone system but also the richness and one-in-many potential of print, radio, and television. It has already affected millions of lives and will radically change the way people live in the 21st century. There are growing pains, of course, as there are with any life-changing technology.
